Bowling & Girls Night

Chris was supposed to be gone this weekend, but he surprised me by coming home at 1:00 in the morning, which was a little scary, but nice when I realized it was him coming into the house. So Saturday we went to Alec's basketball in the morning, went to Bethesda to buy Boy Scout supplies, had lunch at a Mexican restaurant where we saw four missionaries from the Laurel ward, then we decided to take the kids bowling.

Sophia was the pro. She had one strike on our first game and two strikes on our second game. She loved the game and put a great spin on her balls.

Alec could throw hard, but his aim was a little off and he wasn't happy getting beat by his little sister.

Selena looked adorable rolling her ball down the aisle. She loved the music playing in the background -- Hannah Montana and Jonas Brothers.

Chris was very studly and so serious as he'd aim and shoot.

And I was just happy the bumpers were up to keep my balls from going in the gutter.

Later that night I went to dinner with friends to celebrate Brenda and Nicole's birthdays. It was so fun eating yummy French food. But the best part was the conversation. It's so fun to laugh and be silly with my friends. Cami was trying to recruit people for the ward talent show. Some of us offered to do a dramatic reading or re-enactment of scenes from Eclipse, but we were denied. Oh, well, maybe next year.
